i have a female ball python and i am wondering how big they have to be before breeding. i dont know how old she is, but she is about 42 inches long and her girth is half the size of my male. i am thinking this is too small, so i keep her away from my male altogether. when he is near her he defecates and just basically goes into this frenzy.
i read that females are can be aggressive eaters during mating season and that they are more active during both day and night. she has been doing these things....and she has only been eating live mice for about a month. she used to eat frozen mice but seems more eager to kill her prey now than before. anyway..thoughts? id like to know what you know that i dont know.
